Sex Identity: Canadian Citizen and Audrey Chedor

sex identity: In 2012, Audrey Chedor, 53, filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission based on sex identity and citizenship after immigration officials required her to provide proof of sex change surgery to amend the gender designation on her citizenship certificate, according to Toronto Star. Chedor, an immigrant from Germany, came to Canada and first became a Canadian citizen identified as male based on her German ID, but decided in 2010 to change the gender on her identification to female, an identity she has grown comfortable with. AUDREY CHEDOR By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Wed., Dec. 14, 2016 The Federal Court has ordered Ottawa to honour a settlement reached in a human rights complaint by an immigrant who was born with ambiguous genitalia and who asked to change her citizenship ID from male to female. She told the Star she was born with ambiguous genitalia. However, she has never had any sex reassignment surgery. Although Chedor was able to obtain a birth registration from the province of Quebec, where she resides, to declare herself female, she couldn t change the gender designation on her citizenship certificate because as an immigrant, she also needed to provide the sex change documentation.
